As the importance of digital competency education is highlighted, this study is a case study on block coding classes for elementary school students during vacation for the purpose of bridging the information education gap among students. The purpose of this study is to design and operate a play-centered block coding class program and find out if it is effective in improving students' interest. As a result of completing the teaching plan through the second consultation and revision, running the class, and analyzing the change in learning interest of the students through the t-test, the play-oriented block coding class designed in this study was effective in improving students' interest. In addition, it was possible to discover interesting elements such as student-led learning process and immersion through realistic play activities, friendship, collaboration, and communication through group activities. This study is significant in suggesting a plan to increase learning interest for students who are new to coding.

Lately, Importance of coding is getting emerged because of IT technology development. Software coding boosts logical thinking power and creativity and contribute to future human resources as ability of solving problems. This is education system Coding education compounds to playing. It can be helpful for infant's muscle development through blocks, confirm programing through moving of blocks. This system can systematically educate algorism which make infant improve power of thinking and infants can feel joy, immersion, sense of achievement.

This study compared mother-toddler verbal interaction by play type (traditional play, free play, block play), and child's sex and age. Subjects were 10 boys and 10 girls ranging in age from 25- to 36-months and their mothers. An observer videotaped the children and their mothers at play in their homes. Results showed that (1) Mothers attempted more positive verbal interaction in traditional than in block play. (2) Mothers expressed more positive emotion in free than in traditional and block play. (3) Mothers more answer 'reflection' in traditional than in free play (4) Toddlers attempted more positive verbal interaction in block than in traditional and free play. (5) Toddler's positive emotion express was not distinguished by play type or by child's sex or age. (6) From 31- to 36-months's boys expressed more play situation than from 25- to 30-months' girls. This study provides groundwork for mother-toddler traditional play programs with potential for improving positive expression of emotion and language development.

본 논문은 기존의 강압적인 형태의 한글 교육 선행 학습이 아닌 창의적이고 입체적인 에듀테이먼트 교구인 블록 퍼즐과 아두이노를 이용한 명령 센서, 카메라 반사경을 통한 영상 입력을 통해 ICT 융합형 블록 퍼즐기반의 에듀테인먼트 교구를 설계하고자 한다. 즉, 모바일 콘텐츠를 통해 유아에게 교육을 제시하고 유아는 모바일 콘텐츠와 블록 퍼즐 교구, 명령 센서를 통해 입력 영상을 인식하게 한다. 이러한 블록 퍼즐 기반의 에듀테인먼트 교구를 통해서 한글 학습을 놀이 과정 속에서 창의력과 문제 해결 능력을 키울 뿐 만 아니라 스스로 학습을 이끌어가는 자기주도적 학습 능력을 키울 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

As the COVID-19 situation continues, early childhood are unable to attend early childhood education institutions and are spending more time with their parents at home. Parents are faced with a situation where they have to spend a lot of time at home to teach their children for Korean word learning or play activities. This act as a lot of psychological burden and stress for parents. In order to relieve the psychological burden of parents, the design and implementation of early childhood learning assistant system that can support Korea word education and play activities using artificial intelligence blocks of block coding technique was proposed in this study. The usage of a proposed system can not only reduce the burden on parents for their children's learning, but also can be actively used in the field of early childhood education so many learning effects can be expected.

This study investigated children's literate behaviors in a block play area, in a block play area enriched with literacy materials, and in enriched block play with teacher intervention. The subjects were twelve 5-year-old boys who were emergent readers and writers. The results showed that literate behaviors increased in the enriched environment, compared to the non-enriched environment, and literate behaviors increased dramatically after teacher intervention in the enriched environment. The results of this study suggest that teacher intervention in block play enriched with literacy materials contributes to children's development of literacy.

In this paper, we study and develop content for a puzzle game that can be enjoyed lightly with appropriate rules us ing Chilgyo-Nori blocks and Tetris blocks. We plan and develop puzzle games with low entry barriers and high revisit rates from the perspective of client indie game developers who are away from mass-produced games that additionally r equire specific items in a specific game section by focusing on the commercialization of game contents. The implement ed game promotes the creativity of users based on the possibility of creating more 2D designs than the existing Chilgy o-nori by using the Tetris block and the Chilgyo-nori block at the same time.

This study compared mother-toddler physical interaction by play type (traditional play, free play, block play), and child's sex and age. Subjects were 10 boys and 10 girls ranging in age from 25- to 36-months and their mothers. An observer videotaped the children and their mothers at play in their homes. Results showed that (1) mothers' physical interaction was not distinguished by play type or by child's sex or age. (2) Mothers expressed more positive emotion in traditional than in block play. (3) Younger children's play interactions were more nonverbal. (4) Children expressed more positive emotions in traditional play. This study provides groundwork for mother-toddler traditional play programs with potential for improving positive expression of emotion and attachment.
